Famous quotes related to aretha franklin:
“I have a dream: in my dream ... Aretha Franklin, in her fabulous black-lipstick ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ outfit, leaps from her seat at Maxim’s and, shouting ‘Think!,’ blasts Lacan, Derrida and Foucault like dishrags against the wall, then leads thousands of freed academic white slaves in a victory parade down the Champs-Elysées.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
